Ragnar exclaimed."You did not. By the looks of your eyes, you hated everyone, except your son.

Chapter 36: Etherane
Fraser found himself back on the 2nd floor after successfully delivering the documents to Titania. Exhausted from his work in the castle, he leaned against the wall for support. Taking a moment to catch his breath, Fraser reached into his pockets and retrieved the coins he had earned that day. With a sly smile of relief, he opened his hand to reveal the fruits of his labor. "One metherack coin and five silver coins," he murmured to himself. "That's quite a sum of money. I must use it wisely." Feeling a sense of accomplishment, Fraser decided it was time to head home. However, before he could make his way out, a deep voice echoed from his right. It was a middle-class demon, easily recognizable by his sharp teeth and two horns on his forehead. “Are you tired, Fraser?” “Not really, but I’ll rest; don’t worry.” Fraser glanced at the demon and smiled slightly. “You sure need to. Also, there’s not a lot of demons now; they’ve left because the Etherane will be extinguished in the next

Don’t use my son!”Ragnar crawled backwards, despite the pain he’s feeling. “You really don’t learn, Ragnar," the DEVIL said as he took a step forward. “Go on, Zaly! Kill him.” The mischievous tone of the DEVIL returned, ordering Zaly to kill his own father.“Zaly! I raised you! I am y–” Ragnar stopped, realizing something.
